ESB EE-3 SHOWOFF

hey guys, been building up a kit for a good friend, and thought i would share some pics with everyone of the "almost" finished product...i have yet to weather the stock and attach the stock greeblies, but wanted to give my buddy some shots of his blaster... here ya go, brother!

this is a sidewinder kit for the most part, but used stormrider's greeblie set...love the work both of these fine gentleman have done for our community! fellas! :thumbup onto the pics...

Wow! Very nice work so far, D! Keep us posted on the progress, brother!

Would be alot cooler ROTJ. HAHAH . Looks great D!

thanks guys! waiting on some filler to set up on the stock, then will get it weathered in...

i am going to try an ROTJ at some point, D...we'll see if it is as nice as the ESB...

Um, is that one spoken for?

You could probably drop it and totally mess up the ROTJ and it would still be cooler than ESB. lol

rust sucks...

i do have to say thanks to slave1pilot for some weathering tips, he is truly a master at painting up stuff...thanks Nate!!

Can't wait to see my Stormrider Blaster all done up. Wish I had the patience to paint more than my Warhammer miniatures once a year. haha

thanks brother!

I'm not to big of a man to admit......that brings a little tear to my eye. So beautiful

very nice build, is the cylinder just off a vaccuum cleaner?

it is a heiland 2 cell flash tube...

Whoops, there goes the lacrimal gland in the other eye.

Darrell, did you find the mounts etc to be pretty straightforward?

You and I are the only ones to finish a kit so far, and before I ship out the other 20 ive made, id like to know it all makes sense and theres no glaring problems.

very simple and straightforward...the only thing that needed work were the shrouds on the top of the barrel mounts....you have to measure the width of the scope rings, and then cut the shroud down with a dremmel to get the rings to hold on... other than that, very easy...make sure to line everything up when mounting the shrouds, so the scope will line up straight...

light sanding on everything else, like the stock greebs...MAYBE a hole or two to fill on the barrel mounts...

and now she's done... hope you like it brother, and it meets all your expectations...

Looks sweet FD!

Sweet work...

the flash tube looks like it needs to be pushed in more...(too long)

5 inches, yes? from the end of the barrel to the end of the flash tube is 5 inches i thought...

Un-Frickin real bro. Nicely done!!! DO you ever sleep??

That´s outstanding D! Awesome! I hope to get my Blaster done half that good. paramedic will be proud!

Cheerio D! :-)

Awesome Build Darrell!

thanks guys! lots of fun building these up...and Lucksy, i sleep on occation...

Hey D; that looks fantastic. Can't wait to hold Her in my arms. I think my wife is getting a bit jealous of the way I'm talking about my Blaster to be.

hope your blaster is treating you well, brother!

now that's cool.... love the muzzle

well buddy....what can I say look's the *Dogs Ba11s* keep up the good work
